Man shot dead in north, as Arab violent crime epidemic persists

A 32-year-old man is shot dead in the Arab town of Nahf, near Karmiel, in the north.

The victim is taken in critical condition to Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, where medics pronounce him dead.

Police say they have arrived at the scene, started searches for suspects and launched an investigation.

Since the start of the year, 168 Arab Israelis have been killed in violent incidents, according to the Abraham Initiatives watchdog, amid a surging crime wave that has been plaguing Arab locales in recent years.
